IMPROVEMENT IN DEVICES FOR yATTACHINC- FAUCETS.

Specioation forming part of Letters Patent No. 168,171, dated September 28, 1875; application led Ju1y12,1e75.

To all whom it may concern: j .Be it known that I, JOHN S. MoEToN, of

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Glass BottlesandDemijohns,

, vation of a bottle and faucet, showing, in section, my said devices.

Fig. 2 is an elevation of a faucet, also of the boss f, packing c', tube c, and the nut or bush d, with its cup-shaped attachment. Figs. `3 and 4 are, respectively,

sectional and front elevation views of a portion of the side of` a bottle, and of the hollow projection b within the bottle.

`In Fig. 1,-@ is the bottle. bis a hollowprof jection,- preferably tubular, a little tapered ou the exterior, proceeding from some point in the side within the bottle. This projection forms a part of the body of the bottle, being y molded with itu/nen` the bottle ismolded. c

is a tube,'provided with an exterior screwol is a nut, to

att-ached, a cup, c,`a little dared or tapered, so as to correspond with and fit over the eX- terior shape of the projection b, to which it is applied. fis a boss. gis a tubular washer,

, ot' cork or other elastic material, through Which the leg h of the boss passes. t represents spongy or compressible packing, preferably formed by winding lamp-wick around the y cork Washer g vagainst the inner side of the boss f.

In getting theseseveral 'parts into their proper respective positions I amobliged, by the comparatively small size of lthe bottles mouth, to proceed as follows: The nut d is screwed onto the tube c more or less-that is to say, suiciently tounite the two. -A fine .serted through the open tubular projection b,

the end of said string is caught anddrawn out through said projection. The nut f is then allowed to slide down on the string to the projection b and the end of the tube c to enter the projection, while the cup e of the nut d is applied to the exterior ofthe projection. The wire or string is then drawn through the tube c until the curb above mentioned cornes in contact with the end of the inserted tube c. A

small quantity of cement is now introduced' into the tubular projection b around the inserted tube c. The drawn-out end of the string is then passed through the boss f, which is then screwed onto the inserted tube c. The string and curb are then drawn out of the mouth of the bottle, and a forked rod ora long-handled wrench introduced through the mouth of the bottle is applied to the cup e, to hold it rmly while the boss is being screwed into position.

I claim- The `combination of the hollow interior projection b, the tube c, provided with exterior screw-threads, the nut d, with its cup e, and the bossf, forming means for securely attaching faucets to glass vessels, such as bottles and demijohns, substantially as set forth.
